I've been working with a new system built around a P5NSLI that I
bought about a month ago. It's Rev-2, and I've updated the bios to
1001.
I've got 6400 core-2 duo, 2 gb ram, and am using the bios defaults (no
overclocking).
What I've noticed is that the board will not POST from a cold start.
When I first turn it on cold, it will not post at all. If I hit reset
or power-cycle it, eventually after maybe a minute or two it will get
through the POST without locking up, but it will usually hang during
XP startup. After another minute or two it will get through XP
startup and when it gets that far the system works fine.
If it's been running for 10 or 20 minutes and I power it down it will
start right back up no problem.
So it seems that it wants to be warm before it's able to fully start.
Anyone heard of that before? Any ideas?
Sounds almost certainly like a Power Supply Unit issue to me. I have a setup
that does the opposite ie wont post or reboot when it's warm/been running a
while but let it cool and it works fine. A different brand of PSU doesn't
exhibit this issue with the rest of the hardware unchanged. Have you a spare
PSU you can test it with (perhaps borrowed out of another PC)?
